What things stood out for you Tom? Segment 2 - Love In The Shape Of Cut Fruit - I wanted to talk about this article, not only is it a contrast to what we spoke in the last segment but it’s also something we can relate to - In a piece titled ‘Love In The Shape Of Cut Fruit’, Connie Wang wrote beautifully about she realised after growing up, cutting up fruit was her parent’s love language.  - She explained that her parents were never the words of affirmation type but they put in the time and effort it peel and cut fruits like grapes, apple, mangoes and dragonfruit for her when she was growing up - She explained that cutting fruit was like love, it doesn’t take much to serve but it was patience and practice and its the willingness to swallow some bitterness so someone else enjoys only sweetness.  - Article: https://r29.co/38dfTf3 Question: What fruits do you remember eating growing up?
